Quick fact sheet on spreadsheets for mathematics (all they need to know)

An activity to test students’ knowledge on averages (mean, median, mode) and range with some problem solving questions. Can be done as an interactive lesson where the first to find the answer / first one of a pair wins a point etc.

An activity where students must decide which graph is best to represent different types of data (comparing bar graphs, line graphs and pie charts). A great opportunity to help students get into the habit of justifying their answers with mathematical reasoning.

A worksheet for students to practice rounding to estimate (decimal places & significant figures). Includes a helpful guide, practice questions and a problem solving question. A great in-lesson worksheet or homework activity.

A presentation for recap of basic addition and subtraction. Starts off with a whiteboard activity and then some worded questions and an addition grid. A great lesson starter or revision activity.

A great worksheet helping students understand how one fact elicits 3 others. (e.g. if you know 2 x 4 = 8. you also know that 4 x 2 = 8, 8 / 4 = 2, and 8 / 2 = 4).

A differentiation worksheet I created for my Y11 Level 2 Further Maths group but it would work great for Y12 too. Includes differentiation of basic functions, finding the gradient of the curve at specific points, finding stationary points, problem solving, finding where functions are increasing and decreasing.

A presentation introducing increasing and decreasing functions and stationary points. Includes examples.

A presentation demonstrating how to solve trig equations and deriving and using trig identities (s/c=t and c2+s2=1). I used this with a Y11 Level 2 Further Maths group but it would be great for Y12 too.

A resource for teaching or revising multiplication of decimals by integers. includes a starter on multiplying numbers by a single digit, some example questions and worded problems.

A resource to teach or revise Direct and Inverse Proportion. Includes real-life questions, graphs, explanations, exam questions.

A presentation with interactive activities on reading coordinates, plotting coordinates to form shapes, and finding midpoints of coordinates.

A presentation with interactive activities on averages from grouped frequency tables. Also includes an extension worksheet on interpreting data from grouped frequency tables.

A worksheet on drawing pie charts with step-by-step instructions

Resource for teaching income tax. Works well if (before this lesson) you ask students to research Income Tax as homework an bring their findings. For activity 1 I gave each student a card with a job title and salary on it (easy to recreate or they could make one up themselves, or look it up if in a computer room or they are allowed to use phones). Also includes some interpretation and evaluation and an exam question plenary.

Quick introductory presentation about using algebraic manipulation to add algebraic fractions and solve complicated equations.

A presentation about solving more complicated quadratic equations and some of the more unusual methods.

A handy worksheet on converting FDP which reminds students of the method used to do each skill an some practice questions. Works great as a "pick and mix" i.e. the students choose which sheets to do depending on which skill they need to practice. Also includes a section on ordering decimals and an extension task.

A problem solving worksheet using different skills with decimals. Good for assessing understanding as students must explain their reasoning.

A really fun and unusual lesson using a piece of sheet music to collect data using a tally chart, interpret from a tally chart, present the data in a bar chart and pie chart and further interpret the data using a real-life question. Very enjoyable and no knowledge or prior understanding of sheet music needed. Also Christmas themed (the song used is Jingle Bells) so great for engaging students at that time of year.
